This study examined the relationship between spouse satisfaction and depressive symptom among the middle-aged and elderly couples, using dataset of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA). The subjects were 6,652 persons aged 45 and over who were living with their spouse. A multiple regression model was used to study an association between spouse satisfaction and depressive symptom, controlling for socio-economic characteristics, health status and behavior, and social support. Also, this paper run three subgroup regression models based on age of subjects (45~54, 55~64, 65 and over), controlling for confounding variables. Authors found that there was negative relationship between spouse satisfaction and depressive symptom (b=-0.022, p<0.0001). This negative relationship was also shown in three subgroup regression models. This study suggested the importance of spouse support for promoting mental health among the middle-aged and elderly couples.

With the rapid increase in the elderly population, numerous problems arise related to the decreased cognitive function such as the declines of reaction time and concentration which are both resulting from ageing. Recently, ICT-based smart home and other residential services are being developed as a means of complementing human cognitive functions, but the elderly, who are in most cases digital-illiterate, find it hard to utilize these tools actively and if so it usually takes longer time and endeavor for the elderly to be familiarized with ICT devices. In this context, this study suggests a configuration of the holographic system in houses that complement the cognitive function of the elderly with the consideration of the interaction with the vision which is a critical function in the cognitive process. The method of this study consists of a literature review on topics including the characteristics of the cognitive function among the elderly, holographic technology and residential services; a configuration of residential services for different space types, depending on the aspects of the cognitive function among the elderly; and finally a suggestion of a holographic system configuration and application depending on various scenarios.

Various housing measures are needed for the rapidly aging society of Korea. In particular, the welfare policy for the elderly has changed towards the community care. Taking this fact into consideration, it is necessary to have the establishment of a system that offers the elderly appropriate welfare services at their appropriate residence (ageing in place) for the effectiveness of the community care. In this aspect, there are a number of implications to Korea to study merits and demerits of the Health Facilities for the Aged (HFA) in Japan. The society of Japan has been rapidly aging since 1970, and Korea is to face the same situation. As for the data of this study, a total of 2,393 facilities (as of November 1999) mentioned in the annual report of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare were classified based on types of their establishment: (1) free-standing structures (603 facilities); (2) annexes to hospitals (981 facilities); (3) annexes to welfare facilities (511 facilities); and (4) annexes to clinics (298 facilities). Next, 239 facilities were selected through taking a sample of 10 percent from each type of the HFA mentioned above. This was done through the random sampling method with the computer program of MS EXCEL. The Implications of the results of analyses are as follows. First, most of the health facilities were planned with the scale that was larger than the scale of standard special nursing homes in terms of the total floor area. Precise equations that were to obtain precise results of the scale of the HFA and the appropriate number of residents were obtained through the method of the regression analysis. Korea and Japan have similarities in terms of culture, society and family relations; however, the two countries also have differences in terms of the application of laws on the establishment of houses, hospitals, and welfare facilities. As for planning the scale of the HFA, the realities of Korea should be considered. Second, as for the functional aspect of the HFA with a condition of returning home, the place before and after the HFA showed the pattern of 'from a residential place to a residential place' and 'from a hospital to a hospital.' This reveals a close correlation with the types of the HFAs and operational ways of the facilities. Its cause is considered to be the aspect of the operation and management of the HFA rather than the aspect of its function of providing services in association with medical and health facilities. Therefore, when intermediate welfare facilities are considered in Korea, it is strongly advised to consider the problem of annexes to other facilities and efficiency of sharing of the facilities in terms of its operation and management.

Po1ymer를 피복한 벼 종자의 종자세 향상과 환경 적응성을 구명하기 위하여 10종의 Polymer를 피복하여 수분흡수력, 호흡량, 발아력 및 포장 출아율 등을 조사하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. Polymer피복 종자의 수분흡수율은 포화습도에서 klucel이 가장 높았고 PVP가 가장 낮았으며, 물에 침청할 때는 klucel이 가장 높았고 maltrin이 가장 낮았다. 2. Polymer 피복 종자의 호흡량은 화영벼 와 일품벼 에서 polymer 피복 종자가 낮았으나, 대청벼와 진미벼는 오히려 높았는데 그 정도는 sepiret 피복 종자가 PVP 피복 종자보다 높았다. 3. Polymer피복 과정 중 기계에 의한 종자피해 정도는 발아율이 1% 내외로 저하되어 극히 미미 하였다. 4. 종자세가 양호한 종자에서는 polymer 피복에의한 발아율의 향상은 없었으나 대부분이 95% 이상의 발아율을 보였고 waterlock, surelease 45 및 sepiret등이 특정 품종에서 발아율이 극히 저조하였다. 5. 발아세는 sepiret 피복으로 향상되었고, PVP 피복으로는 약간 저하하였다. 6. Polymer피복 후 노후화 처리 종자의 발아율은 대부분의 polymer에서 피복 종자가 무처리 종자에 비하여 약간 높았으나 sepiret과klucel피복한 종자의 발아율은 현저하게 저하하였다. 7. 저온 발아성은 daran 8600, maltrin, sacrust 및 opadry 등에서는 향상되었고 나머지 polymer는 저해하였는데, 특히 PVP의 발아율이 가장 낮았다. 8. 초장은 대부분의 polymer 피복 종자에서 컸으나 watelock, PVP, maltrin등의 Polymer에서는 작았다. 저온 발아시 초장은 polymer피복으로 오히려 단축되었다. 9. 포장 출아율은 피복 종자가 훨씬 높았으며 출아 소요시간도 훨씬 단축되었다. 포장수분함량 90 %에서 출아율이 가장 양호하였고 출아 소시간도 단축되었으며, 95년 종자가 94년 종자보다도 출아률이 높았고 출아시간도 단축되었다. PVP가 sepiret보다 더 양호한 출아율을 나타냈다.

이 연구는 개혁개방정책 이후 중국 내 조선족이 보인 사회인구학적 행태의 변화를 설명하기 위한 것이다. 시장경제체제의 도입과 한중 국교수립 이후 조선족사회는 출산력수준의 급격한 저하와 인구구조의 고령화로 매우 급격한 변화를 겪고 있다. 조선족의 인구행태와 인구구조의 이러한 변화는 한족에 비해 두드러지게 나타난다. 중국 내 조선족인구가 가장 밀집되어 거주하고 있는 연변지역의 조선족사회는 최근 절대인구규모의 감소추세를 보이고 있다. 아울러 시장경제의 도입 이후 이동성향이 높아지고 통혼권과 거주지역이 확산되며. 조선족학교를 통한 민족교육이 급격히 위축되는 추세를 보인다. 그리고 이에 따라 조선족사회의 사회적 통합과 문화정체성이 약화되고 중국 내 소수민족사회로서의 위상도 점차 약화되는 과정에 있다. 연변 조선족사회의 사회인구학적 변화와 위기상황에 대한 설명을 위해 이 연구는 연변조선족자치주의 1990년과 2000년 인구센서스 자료와 각종 통계자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 이 연구에서는 인구센서스를 통하여 드러난 조선족인구의 연령구조가 매우 불규칙적이라는 점을 감안하여 1990년과 2000년 인구센서스 자료의 신뢰성과 정확도를 재검토하는 작업도 이루어졌다.

본 연구는 노년기 기능장애의 평균적인 변화가 아니라 하위집단에 따라 어떻게 다른 변화가 나타나는지 분석하고, 건강 및 사회적 특성의 변화가 기능장애 변화와 어떠한 관련을 갖는지 분석하였다. 분석 자료는 고령화연구패널조사(Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing)의 1차 년도에서 4차 년도까지의 자료를 사용하였다. 기능장애의 이질적 발달궤적을 분석하기 위해 Latent Class Growth Analysis(LCGA)를 사용하였고, 잠재계층에 대한 건강 및 사회적 특성 변화의 영향력을 알아보기 위해 다항로지스틱 회귀분석(Multinomial logistic analysis)을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 우리나라 65세 이상 지역사회 거주노인의 기능장애 변화에서 평균 변화궤적으로 설명될 수 없는 다양한 변화양상이 확인되었다. 전체 노인의 78%가 독립적 기능형으로 나타났고, 17.3%의 노인은 상당한 수준의 기능장애 변화를 경험하였다. 즉 4.4%는 높은 기능장애 지속형에, 7.1%는 급격한 증가형에, 5.5%는 완만한 증가형에, 그리고 4.7%는 중간-감소형에 속하였다. 또한 우울증상이나 인지기능이 악화되는 것과, 사회참여와 친한 사람과의 만남이 감소하는 것이 기능장애 증가를 높이는 주요 위험요인으로 나타났다. 지역사회 거주노인의 기능장애가 개인에 따라 다양한 양상으로 변화한다는 것을 실증적으로 분석한 본 연구 결과에 근거할 때, 노년기 기능장애를 보다 세분화하여 이해하는 것이 필요하며, 각 집단에 따른 특성을 고려한 차별적인 연구와 실천이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The demand of rural tourism industry has increased among the urbanites in South Korea, in due to the increase of leisure activity and the emergence of ageing society. Rural amenity resources are gaining various interests, in the value creation and promotion of tourism. In this study, the propensities of city dwellers were separated by life-style classification, and each affinity to the rural amenity resources was examined in accordance with the separation. A questionnaire survey of urbanites in the southern area of Gyeonggi-do, the most populous province in South Korea, was conducted to analyze the preference of city dwellers about rural amenity resource and life-style of themselves. For statistical verification, $IBM^{(R)}$ $SPSS^{(R)}$ Statistics 20 software was used for frequency, reliability, factor and multiple regression analysis of this research. The results of the statistical analyses found a noticeable characteristic in life-style classification. The affinities of urbanites can be classified into four congregations of life-style factors in this statistical model. Each congregation of the factors was named as 'Self-development-oriented', 'Leisure-oriented', 'Achievement-oriented', and 'Culture-oriented' life-style, to represent the characteristics for convenience' sake. Among these styles, only 'Self-development-oriented' and 'Achievement-oriented' showed the positive correlation with rural amenity resources in the multiple regression analysis. In addition, the rural amenity resources were also analyzed in accordance with the life-styles classification of urbanites. City dwellers showed the highest interest to the 'natural resource management facility resource' in natural resources, the 'traditional heritage resource' in cultural resources, and the 'community resource' in social resources. Meanwhile, they showed less interest to 'agricultural and scenery resources' in natural resources, 'specialty production resource' in cultural resources, and 'cooperative farming' in social resources. These characteristics can be constructed as meaning that the urbanites who concern self-development and achievement of their lives have high interest in rural amenity resources, and the main interest of them is not 'return-to-the-farm'(歸農) but 'return-to-the-home'(歸村).

Charcoal dyed fabrics have been widely used in home textiles and functional clothing due to their anti-statics, antibacterial, deodorization, far infrared emitting and anion releasing. Soybean fiber were regenerated from soybean. Soybean fiber have biodegradable, microbiocidal, non-allergic, and anti-ageing properties. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dyeing characteristics of soybean fabric using charcoal as colorants. Soybean fabrics were dyed with charcoal solution according to concentration of charcoal, dyeing temperature, and dyeing time. To improve washing fastness and investigate mordanting condition, soybean fabric and dyed soybean fabric with charcoal were mordanted by mordanting agents such as $CH_3COOH$(acetic acid), NaCl(sodium chloride) and $AlK(SO_4)_2{\cdot}12H_2O$(Aluminium Potassium Sulfate). Dyeability and color characteristics of charcoal dyed soybean fabric were obtained by computer color matching and SEM morphology analysis. Particle size of charcoal and color fastness were also investigated. The results obtained were as follows; Mean average diameter of charcoal was $1.39{\mu}m$. The dyeability of soybean fabric using charcoal as colorants was increased gradually with increasing concentration of charcoal dyeing solution and saturated at about 8%(o.w.b.). The optimum dyeing temperature and dyeing time were $90{\sim}105^{\circ}C$ and 60~90 minutes respectively. The overall wash fastness at dyeing concentration 2~4%(o.w.b.) and 6~10%(o.w.b.) were 4 degree and 3-4 degree respectively. The fastness to washing according to mordanting method indicated good grade result as more than 4 degree in all conditions. On the other hand, the staining of adjacent fabrics, i.e. PET, Acryl, Wool, Acetate, Nylon and Cotton was found to be of grade 4 or 4-5 in all conditions.

Objectives : Korea faces a number of challenges to meet demands in the area of geriatric professional medicine in a country with a rapidly ageing population. We evaluated the satisfaction and feasibility of the current education certification for geriatric physicians. Methods : Geriatric physicians who were deemed qualified by the Korean Geriatrics Society during the period of 2001 to 2005 (n=2,200) were asked to complete structured questionnaires sent to them by mail about their satisfaction of and need for certificates of education, as well as their opinions on their geriatric specialty training. A total of 419 physicians responded. Descriptive analysis and hierarchical regression were performed to rate the respondents' satisfaction, the characteristics of the need for clarity and utility in education certification, and the characteristics of their patients. Results : Although most respondents were satisfied with their education certification, those who had more elderly patients, aged 65 or older, and those who had more cognitively impaired patients, rated their education as significantly lower than did other physicians. Both groups expressed the need for more the comprehensive care and assessment concerning of their education. Multiple regression analysis indicated that satisfaction with geriatric physician qualification was associated with a physician's age, specialty, and percentage of elderly patients. Conclusions : This study suggests that the current system of education certification is limited in terms of feasibility and physician satisfaction.
